The last time we were at GHI, Perry commented that Red sure does have a whine. I said that was an installed whine, and a costly whine as well.
It got time to change the lube, in fact I went to sleep and let it go a couple hundred miles longer than the recommended point for the initial lube change. I changed it, and blower oil sure does stink. The old stuff and the new stuff, it smells like a skunk fart. Changed it, it's all good, on the dipstick,
Since then, maybe that was the point in time, maybe not, Red's blower whine is LOUD. He's running like a champ, it's just the whine. And I love that sound, lots of folks do, but I think it's gotten louder. Either it's gotten louder or my hearing/listening has improved, which is not likely.
Red's blower is an enclosed system, sits there in a bath of oil. I'm wondering if the initial break-in lube was maybe a little bit thicker than what you use after that?
